Course summary

Education and English BA at Keele blends the academic and practical study of education with a deep engagement in English literature. Explore how educational theories and practices intersect with the cultural, historical, and social contexts of literary works. The programme combines academic study in both subjects with hands-on experience in diverse learning environments, from classrooms to community work, helping you build your portfolio and prepare for a successful career in education, further study, or other professional fields. Why choose this course?

  • Top 15 in England for English (Guardian University Guide, 2025)
  • Become a skilled analyst of literature of all kinds, from poetry to graphic novels to political speeches
  • Develop your critical thinking and communication skills to enhance your career prospects
  • Opportunity to apply for an International Year at a university across the globe and explore diverse cultures
On our Education and English degree, you will engage with essential questions in education—such as What should students learn, and why?; How can teaching and assessment be most effective?; and What role do schools play in shaping individuals' futures? These questions will guide your studies through the lenses of sociology, history, psychology, and philosophy. In parallel, you will delve into the world of English literature, critically examining texts from a wide range of time periods, cultures, and genres, from Renaissance drama to modern children's fiction, to understand how literature reflects and shapes social values and ideas. By studying these two fields side by side, you will discover how the disciplines complement and enhance one another, deepening your understanding of the educational contexts for teaching literature and the value of literature for evaluating learning strategies and theories. The degree also includes practical, hands-on opportunities to connect your academic studies with real-world experiences. You will go on field trips and have a range of experiential learning, including spending time in classrooms with children and working with the local community.
